National Republican., 1887-04-01
Alexandria County and Washington.

The Republicans of Alexandria county
met in mass convention on Wednesday
evening and adopted resolutions, the first
and third Of which are Of decided imI ortance
to the people of Washington. The first
resolution reads as follows:
That they favor as of first importance to the
county the improvement of its roads, especially
the principal thoroughfares leading to the Long
bridge on the Potomac and to the AQueduct
bridge at Georgetown.
1t is fact known to every man who has
been so unfortunate as to be compelled to
travel over them that the roads leading out
of Washington into Alexandria county
would be considered outrageously bad in
one of the back counties of newly.settled
western state.
The very worst part of any of these
"principal thoroughfares is that directly
at the Virginia end Of the Long Bridge,
which it is the duty Of the Baltimore and
Potomac road to keep in order That corpo-
ration, like most others, never does any
thing for the public that costs money unless
| it is compelled to do 1t. In this case intelli-
gent self.interest would cause the company
| W hCtp bhS lOuu III pup
it does not seem to be controlled by that
kind Of self-interest.
The Republicans of Alexandria county
are In earnest: they want good roads to
both Washington and Alexandria; the
| farmers must have good roads that they
can transport their marketing aud milk the
darkest nights without danger or incon-
venience.
The merchants and other inhabitants of
| Washington are interested in this question
and should give all the aid possible to
every effort made to improve the ap-
proaches to the city, most OF which are now
In most disgraceful condition.
The third OF the Alexandria resolutions
reads thus
The attention Of the capitalists of the coun-
try is invited to the facilities of this county ior
manufacturing enterprises, and to the beautl-
ful scenery aud healthy climate, which in-
vite occupation as suburban homes within
easy access of the nations capital.
And the people Of Washington are deeply
interested in this, which, by the way, is
directly connected with the fret resolution.
With good roads and highways a large
suburban population, not only OF wealth
producers, but Of men of means aud
leisure, would be attracted by the many
advantages offered, to Alexandria county
ana all these OF either class viii add to the
wealth and importance OF Washington.
The Republican meeting called upon ali
citizens OF the county who indorsed those
ideas to aid in carrying them out, and the
citizens Of Washington can very we'll, re-
gardless OF party, assist in this work, for It
is one Of prominent interest to the city.
They can certainly help In one way, and

A Government Dry Dock at Aiexan-
dria.

Secretary Whitney has shown much skill
and been very successful thus far in doing
the right thing at the right time and place,
in all his efforts to build up a new navy
commensurate with the dignity and honor OF
the nation. And in view OF that we
earnestly call his attention to the propriety
Of selecting Alexandria, Virginia, as the
proper place for great government dry
dock.
Alexandria possesses every possible ad-
vantage for this purpose. There Is depth
OF forty feet Of water from the wharf to
the ocean. 1t is far enough from the sea
coast to be easily defensible. The climate
permits outdoor labor the year round. 1t
is not liable to be visited by epidemics. 1t
is unsurpassed as to healthfulness. 1t is n
place where workmen can live cheaply. 1t
is in easy reach Of the national capital, so
that the work can be under the Immediate
eye Of the secretary, and the government
owns nearly enough Of the best land upon
the river front upon which to construct
the dock.

and we have no doubt, also, to their fairness
and frmness. This gives them great power,
ltis undeniable that there we're great wrongs
to be remedIed, which the law makes au
effort to do. It rests greatly with the
commissioners whether, II the corpora

ceed or whether greater wrongs and much
confusion will not be the result instead Of
the remedy hoped for. The people will
